2016.08-rc1, Released August 6th, 2016
Fixes all over the tree and new features.
Toolchain: Fortran support added. eglibc support removed, musl
support no longer experimental. Blackfin and Microblaze
support for internal uClibc-ng toolchain, m68k/coldfire
improvements. The check for unsafe (build host) directories
access (/usr/include and /usr/lib) is now enabled by default.
Unused locales are now purged by default to save space (and
the default list of locales shrunk). The option to control
this has now moved from the toolchain menu to system
configuration.
Legal info improvements: sources are now hardlinked instead of
copied if possible to save space. Patches and extra downloads
are also saved.
An experimental configuration knob (BR2_REPRODUCIBLE) has been
added to make the builds more reproducible (E.G. less
differences in the binary output between builds of the same
configuration). This is still work in progress.
An option to execute a custom script inside the fakeroot
environment used to the generate the filesystem (E.G. to tweak
permissions or similar) has been added.
Git support now supports git submodules if
<pkg>_GIT_SUBMODULES is enabled.
Hash files for integritry validation have been added for all
packages.
Scanpypi utility to help creating packages from the Python
package index (pypi) has been added.
The makedevs utility now has support for adding file
capabilities using extended attributes.

2015.11-rc1, Released November, 7th 2015
Fixes all over the tree and new features.
Architectures:
- Support for sparc64 added (internal toolchain with glibc
only).
- Support for mips32r6 and mips64r6 added.
- Support for Intel Quark X1000 CPU.
- Switch to EABIhf by default on ARM when a VFP is available.
Toolchains:
- glibc 2.22, gdb 7.10, use gdb 7.9 by default, musl 1.1.12,
uclibc-ng 1.0.8, host-gdb enabled on AArch64.
- The toolchain wrapper which was used only for external
toolchains is now also used for Buildroot internal
toolchains. This allowed to fix the ccache support, prepare
the way for top-level parallel build support and remove gcc
patches used to detect header/library path poisoning.
- Remove Analog Devices Blackfin toolchain 2012R2.
- Fix several Xtensa build failures by switching from
text-section-literals to auto-litpools.
- Enable MIPS64 support in uClibc-ng, use uClibc on ARC
rather than a specific fork.
- Linaro toolchains for ARM, ARMeb and AArch64 updated to
2015.08. 2014.09 version is kept since 2015.08 only runs on
x86_64 hosts.
Bootloaders:
- Fix ARM64 support in U-Boot.
Defconfigs:
- Added: ARC HS38 VDK virtual boards, Avnet Microzed, Boundary
Devices Nitrogen SoloX, Freescale i.MX6 SoloX Sabre SD,
OLinuxino A20 Lime2, Qemu Sparc64, Qemu SuperH 4 big endian,
Synopsys AArch64 VDK virtual platform.
- Updated: calao_qil_a9260, calao_usb_a9g20_lpw, ci20,
cubieboad, freescale_imx6_*, imx53loco, imx6_vab820,
mpc8315erdb, qmx6, p1010rdb, qemu, raspberrypi,
raspberrypi2, riotboard, snps_axs10*, wandboard.
- Removed: at91rm9200df, at91sam9260dfc, at91sam9263ek,
calao_snowball_defconfig, gnublin, integrator926_defconfig.
Infrastructure:
- Support for fetching from Mercurial tags fixed.
- Introduce LINUX_NEEDS_MODULES, which allows to enforce
module support to be enabled in the kernel when a package
builds out-of-tree kernel modules (through the
pkg-kernel-module infrastructure or on its own).
- Improve the perl package infrastructure to automatically add
the dependency to the perl interpreter to target perl module
packages.
- Remove trailing slashes in <pkg>_SITE and addition of a
check to ensure such trailing slashes are no longer added.
- Extend the legal infrastructure to allow packages to declare
their actual source code. This is useful for packages for
which <pkg>_SOURCE points to pre-built binaries (as is the
case for external toolchains). The new <pkg>_ACTUAL_SOURCE
variable allows to point to the source code in such cases.
- Improved ccache support, thanks to the usage of a toolchain
wrapper for internal toolchain. Now a single cache directory
can be shared between different Buildroot builds.
- Addition of a 'graph-size' make targets, which generates a
PDF graph of per-package size of the root filesystem.
- Addition of <pkg>_EXCLUDES so that packages can request
certain parts of the source code tarball to not be
extracted. This feature is currently used by gcc and
toolchain-external.
- Packages can now use the <pkg>_PKGDIR variable, provided by
the package infrastructure, to reference their package
directory, instead of explicitly using package/<pkg>/.
Filesystems:
- Add high lz4 compression to squashfs.
- Simplification of shell profile files in the default
skeleton.
- Remove ftp user and /home/ftp from the skeleton, and let ftp
server packages create these when needed.
- Add support for /bin, /sbin and /lib to be symlinks to their
corresponding directories in /usr. This is enforced for
systemd configurations, and optional for other
configurations.
- Support for AXFS filesystem image generation added.
- New options to add extra space/inodes to ext2/3/4 images.

2015.08-rc1, Released August, 5th 2015
Fixes all over the tree and new features.
Architectures:
- Refactor how the availability of an MMU is described.
- Minimal support for Cortex-M3
- Minimal support for AArch64 big-endian
Toolchains:
- Add CodeSourcery MIPS 2015.05, remove MIPS 2013.11
- Use uClibc-ng as the default uClibc version, instead of the
official uClibc, which hasn't done any release since 3+
years
- eglibc is now marked as deprecated
- GCC: gcc 4.9.x is now the default and was updated to 4.9.3,
support for gcc 5.x added.
- Binutils: use Binutils 2.24 as the default, 2.25.x series
bumped to 2.25.1, remove old Binutils 2.22.
- Update ARC toolchain components to 2015.06
- Add support for Fortran when building gcc
Bootloaders:
- Support for using the kconfig configuration system in
U-Boot
New Defconfigs:
- VIA VAB-820/AMOS-820
- OLimex OLinuxino A20 Lime
- Many new defconfigs for Atmel evaluation boards:
at91sam9rlek, at91sam9x5ek, sama5d3xek, sama5d4ek, sama5d4
Xplained Ultra, sama5d3 Xplained.
- ACME Systems Aria G25
- WarPboard
- Altera Cyclone 5 Development Board
- Xilinx zc706
- ARC AXS101 and AXS103 Software Development Platforms
- Significant updates to Raspberry Pi / Raspberry Pi 2
Infrastructure:
- Buildroot takes better care now of generating predictable
permissions in the target filesystem. However, existing
permissions on a custom skeleton or rootfs overlay will no
longer be preserved. Therefore, it is necessary to add a
permission table (BR2_ROOTFS_DEVICE_TABLE) to set the
required permissions.
- Add support for kconfig fragments.
- No longer pass --{enable,disable}-debug to autotools
packages depending on the value of
BR2_ENABLE_DEBUG. BR2_ENABLE_DEBUG now only controls
whether we build with -g or not.
- Support for extracting archives in .lzma in the generic
package infrastructure.
- Remove random-seed file from the default skeleton, since
seeding the entropy pool with a known seed makes more harm
than good.
- In the CVS download helper, add support to use a date as
the version.
- Add support for a per-package <pkg>_STRIP_COMPONENTS
variable, which packages can use to specify how many path
components should be stripped when extracting the tarball.
- Addition of a 'kernel-module' package infrastructure, which
simplifies the packaging of external kernel modules. Many
existing packages are converted to use it.
- Allow bootloaders to be implemented in $(BR2_EXTERNAL)
- Remove /etc/securetty from the default skeleton.
- Migration of sysV initscripts from the default skeleton to
a package called 'initscripts', installed only when Busbox
init or sysvinit are used.
- Migration of the skeleton logic to a proper 'skeleton'
package.
- Addition of a 'linux-tools' infrastructure in the 'linux'
package, to support building user-space tools bundled
within the Linux kernel sources, such as perf and cpupower.
- Usage of backticks instead of make $(shell ...) to execute
shell commands. This allows to delay the evaluation of such
commands when actually needed, and not when expanding the
variables. It is useful to make 'make printvars' less
noisy, and as a preparation to support top-level parallel
build.
- Libtool .la files are not mungled for all package types,
instead of being handled only for packages using the
autotools-package infrastructure.
- Add mechanism to allow packages to express a dependency on
gcc versions. This is needed for packages that use C++11 or
C11 support for example.
Important package updates:
- Complete rework of the matchbox packaging
- Lots of fixes in packages for compatibility with musl and
gcc 5.
- Hash files added to a large number of packages.
- Update a significant number of packages to use a new
hosting, after the announcement of Google Code and
Gitorious closing.
- Major packages needed for SELinux support have been merged,
but the support is not complete yet.
- Significant update of OpenCV to version 3.0, and addition
of lots of eatures.
- Significant update of all packages supporting the GPU and
VPU of i.MX ARM processors.
- Addition of systemd support in a significant number of
packages.
- Qt5 updated to 5.5.0
- Use modular X.org server by default instead of KDrive
Filesystems:
- Complete overhaul of the iso9660 support. Now allows to use
directly IS9660 as the root filesystem format and not only
an initrd, and supports Grub 2 and isolinux in addition to
Grub.
